Tydeus is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified Tydeus as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Tydeus orbits the sun every 4,290 days (11.75 years), coming as close as 4.72 AU and reaching as far as 5.61 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Tydeus is probably between 11.818 to 26.427 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Baltimore.
Tydeus's orbit is 3.75 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is an extremely wide berth between this asteroid and Earth at all times.
Orbital simulations conducted by NASA JPL's CNEOS do not show any close approaches to Earth.
Tydeus's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 20, 1973. It was last officially observed on April 1, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,644 observations used to determine its orbit.
